betterConsole for VS Code

betterConsole is a local-first console issue workspace for developers. The VS Code extension imports selected text or the active editor contents, groups repeated console issues, shows likely root causes, provides focused fix steps, opens sanitized solution searches, and copies clean Markdown debug reports.

Open the betterConsole icon in the VS Code Activity Bar to keep the console workspace available in the side bar while you edit. Live audit starts automatically after VS Code startup and keeps listening until you press Stop. It streams VS Code shell-integration terminal output in memory, filters by error, warning, info, log, or debug level, and never starts commands or creates terminals. Use the Live audit and Imported source controls to move between continuous terminal results and editor/clipboard analysis. Importing content never stops the live listener, and new live output never replaces the imported session you are reviewing. Use the Chrome extension and Edge extension buttons to open the latest local browser-extension packages when they are available in this repo.

Real Memory AI Agent

Issue cards can hand a sanitized report to Real Memory AI Agent when it is available. Handoff is always initiated from the issue card and requires a confirmation. betterConsole requests proposal mode and tells the agent not to edit files, run commands, or apply changes until you approve that action in the agent workflow. The sanitized request is also copied to the clipboard so the handoff remains visible and recoverable.

Privacy

Imported and live console text is held in extension memory only until you clear it, stop/restart the extension host, or close VS Code. Search opens a normal external browser tab with a sanitized query. The extension does not write logs into workspace storage, does not run remote code, does not load remote scripts in the webview, and does not collect analytics.

External links are restricted to HTTPS destinations on the configured Google/Bing search, GitHub repository/support, and Buy Me a Coffee host allowlists. Unexpected webview URLs are blocked.
